What Is The Difference Between Laser Cutting Machine And CNC Punching Machine?

Laser cutting process is currently in the metal industry is of great concern, many manufacturers have said goodbye to the traditional CNC punching machine, the principle of laser processing is through the laser produces a high-energy beam irradiation of the surface of the material, the metal material will quickly melt, through the movement of the beam of light so that the material is linear melting to achieve the purpose of cutting.

CNC punch press is a kind of cutting equipment controlled by computer, compared with the traditional sawing equipment, CNC punch press has a great improvement in cutting accuracy, compared with the cost of cutting also has many advantages. But CNC punch press in the cutting need to have a mold in order to cut, in this regard, the advantages of laser cutting machine is reflected, no mold, import drawings can be cut.
Laser cutting advantages are mainly:
1.Suitable for cutting thin sheet metal processing.
2.The need to cut complex graphics, only need to draw the appropriate drawings in advance, imported into the cutting system can be cut.
2.The laser cutting precision error is low, usually within ± 0.1mm, non-contact processing, material deformation is small.
4.The low cost of consumables, only need to cut the nozzle and protective gas, no need to replace the expensive saw blade.
5.The overall environmental protection, cutting with its own dust exhaust device, the cutting process is almost no pollution.

The above is an introduction to the differences between laser cutting machines and CNC punching machines, hoping to be helpful to everyone!
